Looking for matching names

Hey everyone!

We have a complex but fun naming problem. I'm now 21 weeks pregnant! We always wanted three little ones at home, so after the birth of our two older daughters (7 and 4), we were planning to add one more little one. But fate decided otherwise, and we were told that two little ones were growing in my tummy! Very surprised and very happy, of course! We definitely didn't expect this since twins don't run in either family. Now we're searching hard for names. (I really want to know the gender of the two, but my husband and I had agreed beforehand that we didn't want to find out, since we had made the same agreement for the previous two, and I couldn't stick to that, so I really want to do it now.)

We already have two daughters:
Camilla (full name Camilla Maria) (7)
Joany (full name Joany Elise) (4) (pronounced DJOONIE)

We were actually convinced that we would name our next little one Esmiralda or Jeannette for a girl and Daniel for our boy (Daniel has been on the list since the first little one).

But now there are two, and we find Esmiralda and Jeannette too long (and they don't sound good together either, which is important), so we're looking for shorter names.

If it's two boys, it will probably be
Duncan and Daniel

For the girl names, we're still searching hard, not just for beautiful, short, strong names, but they also need to match well together.
Some names we like:
- Majka (takes some getting used to but it's cool, it's number 1)
- Nikki / Nova
- Mara (I think this is a beautiful name)
- Eva
- Anna

But the only nice combo we can come up with is Majka and Nikki, and I'm wondering what you all think. Boy combos are also welcome, but those are probably set in stone; Duncan and Daniel just sound good together (in our opinion). Boy and girl will probably be Daniel and Eva.

Normally, we don't find choosing a name so difficult, but the situation makes it tricky. Maybe try to convince my husband again to at least find out the gender of one of the little ones, but his decision is pretty firm, and I have to admit that I also really enjoy the name hunt and the surprise. That's one of the things you can enjoy during a pregnancy, in my opinion Just like picking out and designing the card / baby room / clothes.

I'll hear from you, all suggestions welcome!
Sorry for the long story.

    Hi Alisa,
    that's so lovely, a twin! Congratulations!

    I personally think Mila / Dena for a girl is really nice.
    And they do go well together haha

    Greetings

    Hey Cintya!

    Thanks :-D
    I also think Mila is really beautiful, but the oldest one is called (Ca)milla, and that doesn't really go together.
    Dena is also a really nice name! You don't hear it that often, it fits our taste well actually, we hadn't thought of it before, but we'll definitely include it!

    Thanks

    Yeah, that's right, Milla isn't really my favorite, I haven't really thought about it.
    Glad it's also to your liking, you'll definitely find the right name!

    Hi Alisa and Robin,

    First of all, congratulations on your twins! I hope you have a beautiful pregnancy.

    Name ideas.

    Dena is really nice, Danne or Dannee is also very nice in combination with Majka (you gave me an idea).

    Duncan is also very cool. I'm slightly less fond of Daniel ;-), but that's just a matter of taste. I also think Seth is a nice, cool boy's name that fits with Duncan.

    Good luck, girl! Let me know what you decide?

    Best, Nicole

    Hey Nicole,

    Thanks for your reply :-D
    I also like Seth, but Robin is completely out of the question, so that’s not going to work! Thanks for the tips

    Any more suggestions?

    Majka & Livia?

    Our girls' names all seem to end in 'a' now. Camilla also ends in 'a', so Joany feels a bit out of place. We should probably hurry up and decide; we're thinking of asking for the gender after all.

    After a lot of hesitation, I finally asked about the genders of the two! Boy and a girl! Absolutely amazing, we're over the moon! A boy and a girl, now we can really follow what the differences are exactly! Just a little more.

    The names are also changing a bit, it's probably going to be Majka Neomi and Tyce Daniel.

    Thanks for the option
